    'Present' is the second solo release from Paul Iwan and his first signed to Klee Music.

    From the cover art dominated by his challenging glare and trademark eye patch, to the soaring melodies and emotion-soaked (and at times Bono-esque) vocals contained within, it's clear that this man means business. Described by louderthanwar.com as 'electro with an injection of angst', Iwan says of himself, 'Merging acoustic and electronic instruments has always been what interests me musically. Artists like Gary Numan, Bjork, Depeche Mode and Peter Gabriel are major muses; in terms of melody, the Manic Street Preachers, Radiohead and Supergrass are constant sources of inspiration'.
